- In this video I show you how easy it is to take care of a Weeping willow from a cutting and encourage new roots to grow.
Salix sp.
Family
Salicaceae
Origin
From the cold and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere
Characteristics
The foliage varies depending on the variety, it can be hanging (weeping willow) or normal bearing (white willow).
Location
Outdoor Bonsai, that prefers sunny places, although in summer it is preferable to keep it in a semi-shaded location, but always a bright place. It perfectly withstands the wind, and its development is optimal in airy locations.
Watering
Water abundantly, and maintain a perfect drainage of the pot, so to constantly keep humidity in the bloc of roots. In full summer, it may become necessary to keep the pot in a basin full of water. It is very interesting to vaporize the willow crown, since they require very high hygrometry.
Fertilization
Basically in spring and autumn; Using an organic fertilizer of slow decomposition. Do not fertilize during summer, nor during the first 6 weeks after transplanting; and never provide fertilizer to a tree in poor condition.
Re-potting
Twice a year in early spring and early summer, after having trimmed half of the roots, and to transplant to a larger pot than the previous one.
SUBSTRATE
A very draining substrate should be used.
PRUNING
Prune at the time of transplant, leaving one bud per branch. Cut the long shoots in late autumn.
PINCHING
Pinch the buds in the early stages of spring, before the sap starts flowing.
WIRING
During spring and summer, wrapping the copper wire with raffia to avoid damaging the wood. We can also shape by placing weights.
Curiosities
Its use is mainly oriented to ornamental gardening, but we can find other species, such as the Salix caprea, whose buds are a delicacy for goats, or the wicker (Salix fragilis) whose use to make farm closures is compatible with the suitability of its branches for wickerwork.

Loved the root vision, man. You just got another sub 😎✋
Really wish there was some narration to find out why you were doing everything.
Great View, another well made video
It would be helpful with a little explanation on what your using
Perfection
That was crazy amount of roots 😜 great work 👍
Hey, thanks, I´m glad you liked it. 😊
@@EndaonBonsai it was fun to watch👍
Wow.
Wow keren kawan
I really enjoyed the Video. But how does the Tree Look like now? Its been two year. Im sure he grew a lot :)
Would be nice if you explained what you were doing and why
A giant 50 ft plus weeping willow split in half and collapsed by my local park pond yesterday. Going to obtain some of these branches and try this myself before it's cut up and cleared away. Curious what is that green protective substance you're applying?
We miss you, come back!
Nice video 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks
Can you propagate the branches you remove? Thanks for this!
Long way to go.. :)
What camera are you using for the zoom and pan shots and for that under water one? Beautiful video
Just got 3 rootless trunks, stuck in water and in a week they've grown out of control. Got them from CZ Grain, thru recommended using fox farms ocean potting soil. Some questions, just moved one to soil to see how it takes. I have a lot of grow lights and a south facing window. The window even in winter is potent, I moved a ficus there once early afternoon and 5 hours later a small branch with 8 leaves were singed. I was told if I moved on a cloudy day and it acclimated properly it'd be fine. I shouldn't worry lol it is the sun and trees prefer sun obviously. My question is since they're new would a grow light be better for now until it establishes itself in the pot? I have bonsai soil but was told to use fox farms and keep it moist watering 1-2 times a day. Thank you bro
I know this is from like a year ago but I also came to this video because I got a rootless trunk from CZ Grain in Etsy 😭 I’m super excited.
I was thinking about ordering from CZ seems like they did u solid. Have u also ordered other plants in the past?
@@johngonzales7317 you didn’t ask me, but i also ordered from them and my cutting has been growing beautifully
I got my cuttings from CZ as well and wondering about my south windows once they are planted. Did you go with grow lights at first or keep it close to the window? Thanks.
Cane you tell me where you bought the large pots with the hes and the sealer you are using to seal the areas you cut off please. I have 4 weeping willows that I need to start training for Bonsai. Thank you.
nice video. is it a kabudachi ?
Saludos, de donde eres, te quedo muy bonito, tienes buena mano para cuidarlos y darles forma, sigue adelante con tus videos aprendo más
Hola Guillermo, soy del noroeste de España (el Bierzo), me alegra mucho que aprendas con mis videos. Muchas gracias amigo! 👍
Does all this severe root pruning improve the formation of nebari?
Indeed, it is mandatory if you want to achieve a radial, balance and controlled nebari, in this particular species the roots grow fast, vigorously and easy. :)
Whats the name of the soil you are using ?
Can you regrow from a shoot that has leaves? And what kind of soil is that?
Yes I cut a few branches from a willow In My yard and just let them sit in water for about a week until roots sprouted. I believe any potting soil is good
What is the green stuff that you paint on her after clipping her branches?
Will coconut oil be alright to substitute?
It is cut paste, it helps the plant to not lose to much moisture (mostly used in summer or with big cuts) i don't think coconut oil is a good substitute for it. However I can recommend paint of some sort, maybe you can find some see through paint or just a color of your liking? Anyways paint will do the trick
@@kobehabtie1795 Thank you so very much for your time!! I have a whole ton of Willows propagated and some Dragon Claw willows too. Thank you for the video!!
what are the bugs that look like very small spiders on my tree and how do I get rid of them?
I've never grown a bonsai tree so you might wanna google search but I use neem oil for all my plants it's natural and repels mites, spider caterpillar and other things
What’s the green stuff
What is the name of the soil ?
What was the green stuff you applied?
Cut sealer.
What is the green stuff that you paint on the plant after clipping its branches?
Bit old but cut paste, helps the plant heal over
I felt like you were gonna kill the tree when I saw the white meat😢
